EVENTS DIARY

The table below lists the events which our members are thinking about attending in 2012.  Sometimes our members will be split between two or even more events, depending on which is nearest to where they live or personal preferences.

Sometimes we may substitute an event for another if our members wish to do so, or if an event organiser offers to pay costs towards our attendance for a specific display.

Events shown in BLUE are events which we ask our members to make all effort to attend.

Check this page regularly for updates.
